one of my close friends, an environmental advocate, and the person who is the closest thing to Leslie Knope in Newport is running for city council!! www.conklinfornewport.com

Guys. She’s running! @emzconk.bsky.social www.conklinfornewport.com

Gave the kid a mani/pedi for her junior prom tonight, and I’m beating myself up because I forgot to say, “Okay. Pick a color.”

“Call Your Girlfriend” by Robyn

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Happy Mother's Day to the woman who taught me to play tennis.

A Kamala Harris presidency would have been relatively boring and you wouldn't be awake scrolling right now.

“Any moment we spend bullshitting each other,” he says, “is just a sin.”

Happy 9th anniversary to Tom Holland's performance of Umbrella on Lip Sync Battle, a pivotal pop culture moment in history! youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

First, you wanna step to me? Now your ass screaming for the deputy!

the soft simplicity here is absolutely fantastic. I think it needs a bracelet or perhaps gloves, though. (she's not ready to run Vogue.)

Hand over all Star Wars crap to Tony Gilroy from here on out and then you’ll get a rise out of me, otherwise piss off

Actually Applebee’s keeps my picture on the wall next to a rusted horn and an old fruit company label reading Buxom Melons.

This story has so many good words for our MA and RI accents. Market. Manager. Bagger. Store. Fired.

Quite literally without even the slightest bit of exaggeration.... The Constitution is designed to let the other branches clip the wings of the others if they get out of their role. There's no reasonable argument that this court is in its constitutional purview. It must be forced back

FDR‘s conclusion: “During the past half century the balance of power between the three branches of the federal government has been tipped out of balance by the Court….in a world in which democracy is under attack, I seek to make American democracy succeed.“/4

I thought we were all taking about bringing back smoking as hyperbole. Like “Yes! But no. Or maybe bc everything is shit. But really, no.”

When you’re gonna miss your beloved bus driver because their route is being cut (literally) by the governor’s new highway plan.

Even though she did it in shorts, I’m so happy for Hailey Baptiste! That was some rock-em-sock-em 🎾

We all miss Ferru changing his shirt during matches.

Watching Madrid with my friend who doesn’t watch tennis. Her: Who is that hot man?! Me: That’s David Ferrer, my dear.

“In every school, a ballroom…”

Some good news from Newport: Rogers HS junior Grace Muenter is helping parents & caregivers with her diaper bank project. @nbc10wjar.bsky.social Grace started collecting and delivering diapers & other supplies last year, and has since shared thousands.

It actually is bad to rehabilitate nazis just because they briefly squabble with other nazis.

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

“But he is, Ma.”

“But he is, Ma.”

Helping my kid make a list of colleges she wants to attend for theater/performing arts, and I'm so jealous that she is doing it with a mom who supports her dreams. What's that like?

This will fix me.

I’m convinced Patton had the shingles in the fall of 1944, so we’ll be fine. It’s fine. 🫠

Low stakes conspiracy that I actually believe: “Freedom Williams” was voiced by Ice-T for C&C Music Factory, same as “Zelma Davis” was voiced by Martha Wash. Ice-T did not want to acknowledge he was part of something so pop, so he never came forward to claim credit. He just cashed the check.

The kid let me pick the movie tonight. She gave a hard no to LOTR but agreed to “Saving Private Ryan.” Putting this in the baby book.

Tired: getting to the airport early to reduce stress Wired: Getting to the airport early, so I can sit in a quiet corner and watch The Pitt finale.

I tell you what, whew.

I…

It’s giving the first Barbie I ever owned, and I love it.

I’m in a chorus with some people who are aggressively tone deaf, and at this point, I think they’re trolling. Energy vampires. Like Colin Robinson joined a chorale.

And done. Only took 11 minutes to send money to the Department of War. Yay!

Welp. Time to do my taxes. What a fun lunch break!

At what point did Carlos Alcaraz develop Extreme Math Teen Hair

I’m just watching this Sinner Alcaraz match for the Edberg cameos.

Romanticizing my life by playing The Cure’s “Plainsong” while doing yard work, pretending I’m Marie Antoinette cleaning up her flower beds at Hameau de la Reine.

When people say "adopt, don't shop" for dogs, I'm like, I paid $550 to adopt Bob. Epileptic, chihuahua mix Bob. I shopped.

Most people thinking they are doing maximalist decor are really just hoarders of ugly shit.

Here's the HD version

Sure, you might want to drink some nachos, but I’m most excited to sip the Pineapple Mgbr. Refreshing!

Is she trying to say the word TRIVIAL here?

Today is the anniversary of Appomattox and the death of Margaret Thatcher. Come on April 9th. Do one more thing.
